In Flanders Fields<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

In Flanders fields the poppies blow\r\nBetween the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky\r\nThe larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.\r\nWe are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,\r\nLoved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.\r\nTake up our quarrel with the foe:\r\nTo you from failing hands we throw The torch;\r\nbe yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die\r\nWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow<\/p>\r\n
